This year Lucas Guibbes, an Elementary School located in Miches’ town center, participated in Fundación Tropicalia’s PRyME (School Renovation and Maintenance) program. Together, the education community, FT and Green Love (a recycling company based in Santo Domingo), decided to organize the school’s trash system by building a recycling and waste separation center. Green Love has volunteered it’s time to teach students about environmental awareness and recycling. As a final culmination to this great project, all the students at Lucas Guibbes, along with Fundacion Tropicalia will organize a field trip to the Miches beach, Playa Arriba, to undertake a beach clean-up and recycling initiative.

Addressing a global issue through a local program: A girls camp in the Dominican Republic
As the summer dwindles down and the kids get ready to go back to school, we say good-bye to another wonderful summer and the successful completion of the “Soy Niña, Soy Importante” (SNSI) or “I’m a Girl, I’m Important” summer camp.
